HOMELESS:HOUSED

HOMELESS:HOUSED is an innovative, five year project between Columbus House and Yale School of Architecture that will produce five two-unit homes designed specifically for those experiencing homelessness. Each house will accommodate a small family and an individual, providing our most vulnerable residents with permanent, supportive housing that can be replicated, is sustainable and low impact. One house will be constructed per year - the first house is currently under construction and will be ready for residents this fall, 2017.

You can be part of the solution to end homelessness by participating in HOMELESS:HOUSED. We have already raised over half of the $200,000 needed for the first home. With your help, this house will become a home for generations to come.

Right now, there are about 550 adults and children who need a home in New Haven. You can make a real difference, paving the way for the future of affordable housing and keeping Columbus House at the forefront of providing solutions to ending homelessness. Thank you in advance for your generous support of this important endeavor!
